Where did you get the information that it would take a year and half. Is it just a guess!!!
Being largely ignorant of law, I wouldn't guess. Comment 34 on this thread and elsewhere on other threads.

IVans:
I'm in the US on a H1B visa since Oct, 2003. My current approval notice
(I 797) has an expiry date of April, 2008. However I do not have a stamp on my passport reflecting the expiry on April, 2008. The only H1B stamp on my passport was that obtained just before my first entry to the U.S on a H1B and the expiry date shows June,2005. I didn't have to leave the country since my entry date and hence didn't find the need to get the visa (current approval) stamped on my passport.
Since one can apply for a H1B extension 6 months before the actual expiry date which will be November 2007 in my case and if I do so and obtain a new approval notice (with an extension of upto 3 years as I have a I 140 approved with my current employer) and if that notice has an expiry of April 2011, then if I go to the Canadian US embassy in Jan, 2008 to get my H1B stamping done in the month of January, 2008, will the new stamp have an expiry date of April, 2008 (current approval notice) or can I get a stamp valid until April, 2011 (based on latest approval notice)?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Hey sumanvenkatappa...
You seem to be a Junior member so I would like to tell you that if you have query that is not relevant to the one already open , you start a new Thread. You do not post your query to an existing thread and piggyback on it.
You can go to FORUM and click on NEW THREAD and enter an appropriate title and then enter your query.
hope this helps you to come to speed with the IV query posting convention...
To put it in other words...lets say u r very hungry and go in a restaurant....Just bcoz you r very hungry you don't start to eat from somebody else's plate....you would take ur own seat SEPARATELY and order your own food.....Think of posting query's in the forumn similar to that....And that goes for everyone else hijacking somebody else's threads..
Don't mean to be RUDE ..but I am getting sick of people hijacking threads and deviating from the original query...

Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
Dear IV Members,
If you believe that your success depends on your immigration process - whether it's the ability to file I-485 earlier or to get green-card and citizenship sooner or whether it's the ability of your spouse to work - then you have to believe that your success somehow depends on the success of Immigration voice and these 170 volunteers in DC next week.
As you may know, we are just one more week away from hosting Advocacy day in Washington DC where about 170 members of Immigration Voice will conduct nearly 250 meetings with offices of Senators and Congressmen. Such events cost money. If we have enough contributions, we can spend as per our budget of nearly $ 50,000. If not, we will have to cut back on the event spending and reduce the magnitude and size of the event.
If you are not coming to DC next week, please do your part and contribute funds to Immigration Voice. It not only finances the event properly, it instills pride and confidence in the members who will be there in DC that there are thousands of willing supporters behind them who could not be there physically but are 100% with them in their determination and resolve.

Most immigrants apply for citizenship in developed countries for the sheer luxury of visa free travel to most countries and to bring their spouse/families closer to them without any immigration hassles. It has got nothing to do with renouncing all the ties with their home countries.
I know a friend who recently became a Canadian citizen and he said that he was murmuring a Hindi film song when the Canadian national anthem was played during the oath ceremony. The only reason he immigrated to Canada was to get a Canadian passport so that he can work in US and travel around the world without visa hassles.
I also have a friend who�s a US citizen and he was able to get his newly wed wife into US in 3 months. He visits India regularly to take care of his property investments, watches cricket/desi movies, loves eating food at the road side eateries and by all means he�s still an Indian at heart.
Citizenship is like getting an unlimited credit our existing credit card (GC). The more the limit the more flexibility we get. So let�s avoid bringing patriotic fervor into such posts.

Hi All,
All this memo states is that USCIS will not automatically expedite the FBI name check simply because a writ of mandamus is filed. This memo signaled a national shift in the way USCIS responds to these types of lawsuits.
The U.S. Attorney's Office will now fight the writ of mandamus lawsuit by filing Motions to Dismiss and Motions for Summary Judgment. While this obviously lengthens the time it takes for a case to proceed, it is still very possible to win and force the government to adjudicate the application.
Hope this clears up any confusion,
Justin Fok

I agree and actually this is a time wasting thread. it is good that he got this citizenship and I guess he is happy but what about others who are struggling to get a gc ?
and this statement really irritated me "I know, the wait time is long, but it is worth it every bit."
maybe they should make new citizens apply for passport every year and tell them to renew DL everyyear and after few years I will ask him if the wait was worth it ??

[QUOTE=manojp4]You cannot do CP for your spouse unless your I-485 is approved (an immigrant visa number is available for you). That is why the adjustment of status within the US is so much more preferable for most people - it lets you and the spouse get the EAD and start working without waiting for the approval of your GC.
Thanks manojp4, appreciate your help. Just to clarify my doubt, she would need to file a 485 anyhow, before the dates retrogress again, right. Would it matter if I included her name in my filing, along with the marriage certificate. I guess all I am trying to understand is I know 100% that I will be married before I file, would that help her in anyway, lets say if the dates retrogress in August and she cannot file till then.

I'm sure there are some intelligent and caring lawmakers somewhere who listen to legal immigrants' plight. They don't seem to be in enough or meaningful numbers. Most are interested in either keeping their seats or serving a subsection of their community.
Again, I believe they are moved mostly by lobbyists and other power groups. I don't yet fully understand how much power IV can wield, but IV could be one such group.
Lawmakers care about high-skilled immigrants only because people like B. Gates, Compete America and such keep lobbying any and all the time.
BTW, I'm not at all short-sighted about this. I'm just more realistic about how things happen in Washington. Need proof: For example, look at the staffers on McCain's campaign. Most are lobbyists. Understanding how democracy works in America and commenting about it is what the real big picture is.

Calling does help in many ways. People have to think positive rather than berating an effort.
Based on the original post, I infer that lawmakers won't care if they receive calls from LEGAL Aliens. If that is the logic then why do you think that lawmakers will work on "immigration" bills. After all the "immigration" bills only benefit folks who don't vote immediately. But one of lawmakers duty is to build the next generation America, and "immigration" bills benefit next generation America. People got to understand this fundamental difference and stop being pessimistic about IV efforts.
Directly talking to lawmakers office (through phone or in person) is far more effective than Web faxes and digital signatures.
I just cannot understand how high-skilled folks can be so short sighted, Look at the big picture.

that would most certainly be the politically correct thing to say. Unfortunately, most people don't come with an OFF/ON switch.. Yesterday, I was a citizen of X - country , I support X whole heatedly, today, I am a citizen of Z - country, so I will support Z whole heatedly - more so because the whole naturalization process is not an OFF/ON switch either.
I can't talk about others.
For me, the moment I took oath of allegiance, it is changed for me. Moreover, I have been here 10+ years. This is the place that I call home.

Yes a new memo was issued in 2009 (After DHS confirmed that they have worked with FBI to reduce the response time.) Now since FBI claims that 90/95% of the requests are happening within 6 months. DHS/USCIS is not allowing automatic approval of GC is FBI check was the only peice pending and was pending for more than 180 days.

Do you belong to a state chapter?
if you don't can you please join a state chapter?
I sent a request to Kansas City Chapter to join. No response yet.
If a state chapter does not exist in your area can you form one?
I am trying to start a chapter here. I have already enlisted the help of few friends.
Can you recruit new members to be part of state chapters?
I have been doing that for quite some time. I dont know the success rate yet. My wife is part of a group which organizes Potlucks every other week. I take that opportunity to educate people about IV and the need to join it.
Can you motivate newbies to be active?
I can try.
Can you meet your Local Lawmakers and talk about your issues?
I have already met with NE Senator on a couple of occasions including for the admin fixes campaign.
Can you make a contribution to IV?
I have
Can you motivate other IV'ans to contribute?
I will
Please put ome thoughts on the above and come up with Ideas?. If you need help please PM any of us and we will be happy to help you.
Regarding conributions, I know it is probably going to meet with some resistance from other members, but we can organize a membership drive week. Any current member signing up most members during that week can be rewarded in some way. The reward need not me monetary, because people are not here for money. So, the reward can be some sort of memento.
As far as contributions are concerned, there are many ways to raise money in this country like Raffles, Fund raising by selling some products. (See how Boys and Girls Scouts sells cookies.) and so on.
None of these is impossible. Remember, there is no such thing called IMPOSSIBLE, because the word itself says, I'MPOSSIBLE.
